Diluents for Bacteriological Studies

Diluents are used in bacteriological studies for dilution of over-concentrated solutions down to a desired level. They also can be used for determining the concentration of bacteria / bacterial colonies in the original sample.

Ideal Media for Dilution

Merck provides high quality media for the preparation of diluents. The consistent culture media are available as dehydrated culture media in the form of granules.

Merck’s uniquely granulated culture media are not only convenient but also safe, meeting the highest industry performance standards as described in ISO 11133. Granulated media cause significantly less dust than powdered ones, leading to less inhalation of hazardous media components that cause allergic responses. In addition, they minimize contamination of the work environment.

All Merck media are quality controlled according to stringent standards. This guarantees the consistent high quality of our products.
